Car floor mats fitted correctly and safely - positioned properly, secured with anchors, pedal clearance checked. Carpets protected, no safety issues.
### Mostly DIY, Sometimes Worth Help
Floor mats are usually a **fit-them-yourself job**. But if you've bought expensive custom mats with anchor systems, need pedal clearance verified for safety, or you're combining it with other vehicle work, I can make sure they're in properly.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** This is realistically a £60 minimum callout for a 15-minute job. Only makes financial sense if you're booking other vehicle work at the same time.

Advice on mat maintenance
What to Expect
### Step 1: Mat Check I verify what type of mats you've got (universal or custom-fit), check for anchor points, and assess if trimming is needed. ### Step 2: Positioning & Anchoring Position mats correctly for your vehicle's floor shape. Locate anchor points (usually driver's side has them) and clip mats securely. ### Step 3: Safety Check Most important bit - check accelerator and brake pedal clearance. Mat must not be able to slide forward and trap under pedals. Clutch pedal clearance if manual.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Seriously consider skipping this service:** Unless you're booking other vehicle work at the same time, you're paying £60 for something most people can do themselves in 5 minutes. I'm honest about that. **When it makes sense?** If I'm already there fitting a dash cam (£60-110) or child seat (£60-85), adding mat fitting costs nothing extra within the first hour. That's when it's worth it. **Custom vs universal?** Custom mats for your specific make/model cost £30-60 but fit perfectly and have proper anchors. Universal mats cost £15-25 but often don't have anchors and fit poorly. Spend the extra - it's worth it.
Frequently Asked Questions about Floor mat fitting in Exmouth
Why would I need help fitting floor mats?
Honestly, most people don't - it's straightforward. But if you've bought custom-fit mats with anchor systems, or you're unsure about pedal clearance, or you've got mobility issues making it difficult, I can help. It's a minimum callout job, so only makes sense if you've got other vehicle jobs to do at the same time.
What's involved in fitting floor mats?
Positioning them correctly for your vehicle, securing any anchor points, checking pedal clearance (especially accelerator - mats can't interfere), and trimming if needed. Takes 15 minutes but safety checks are important.
Can floor mats be dangerous if fitted wrong?
Yes - if they slide forward and trap under the accelerator or brake pedal. This has caused serious accidents. Mats must be secured (anchor clips) and checked for pedal clearance, especially on the driver's side.
Will universal mats fit my car?
They'll go in the car, but won't fit as well as custom ones. Universal mats are cheaper but don't match floor shape perfectly and often don't have proper anchor points. Custom-fit mats are worth the extra cost.
When would I combine this with other jobs?
If I'm already coming out for dash cam fitting, child seat installation, or other vehicle work, adding mat fitting costs nothing extra (within the first hour). Makes sense to sort everything at once.
